Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

The property is clean and close to everywhere, the Panagsama beach for sardines and many restaurants and spa. All the staff are very friendly and the property sends useful messages about transportation and things to do in Moalboal before my arrival. And they help book with itineraries for local travel experiences. Also, they have a cute chatty cat who kept welcoming me when I came back from outside everytime!

IrelandAmazing location right in centre of moalboal a few minutes walk to where you do sardine run. Staff organised our canyoneering trip too which was amazing. Rooms very very basic however they have everything you need and also kept spotless which is most important part The breakfast was our favourite part the pancakes were amazing and great portion size.

FranceMaybe a little pricey for the area but good value for money anyhow. Breakfast time starts at 7 am which is a little late if you're diving early.
Wide choice of breakfast and very decent taste (The Filipino egg and corn beef was surprisingly good and the pancake was delicious) Entrance guarded all night. Rents quality scooters with space for parking inside the gate. Location is perfect. In walking distance of all the diving centers, the waterfront and the restaurants. The bedroom and bathroom were at western standards, very clean and comfy. Great shower. Luggage storage and independent shower we were able to use after checkout.

AustraliaI really, really loved this accomodation, and it was the perfect spot for my 4 nights in Moalboal. The location was very central, easy walking distance to many restaurants, dive shops, the beach, etc, and just off the main strip so it was nice and quiet. As a solo female traveller, I felt incredibly safe and welcomed here - the staff were super friendly and helpful. It was great that there was 24 hour staffing, so there was always someone to welcome me back when I got home, even if it was later in the evening. The road down to the guesthouse is a bit bumpy and dark (still some construction going on), but it is only short and there are plenty of other accomodations along the way so it doesn’t feel unsafe. I was able to organise canyoneering, snorkelling with turtles and sardines, and return transfers to Cebu City directly through the guesthouse for good prices, and everything involved pick up and drop off at the front door. The staff were also able to provide advice on mask/snorkel rental and how to get to White Beach for an afternoon - they were always happy to help and answer all of my questions. There was also a folder in reception and in the room that provided advice on activities and their prices, and recommendations of where to eat. The room was spotless, including the bathroom which had a rain shower head with great pressure, and overall it was a perfect size for me. Ear plugs were provided, air conditioning worked really well, and the wifi was strong throughout the property, including in the rooms. I liked having a balcony with chairs out the front, and railing to hang clothes and towels on after the beach, and the bar area was also handy - I especially enjoyed lounging on the bean bags in the afternoons, and the gorgeous Donkey the cat who was hanging around. The included breakfast had some good, basic options, and it was delicious and generous serves - served at any time of the day, meaning I could sleep in as long as I wanted!

CanadaToo many plugs in resulted in the air conditioning turning off. I don’t recommend having the fridge plugged in if you want the air conditioning. Would be better if there was less amenities if it means the ac doesn’t turn off in the middle of the night

Roos is a cozy guesthouse with only 4 units. The staff and service is exceptional, better than any western 5-star hotel. Staff are always available and helpful, and being small, every guest gets personalised service, on demand. On arrival we got a cold wet flannel and refreshing fruit drink. The rooms are very comfortable, great shower, bed and aircon. Each room has a nice balcony so you can also relax outside. The location is perfect, close to the beach and in the middle of restaurants, left and right of the road that leads to Roos. We recommend Roos but be quick as it isn't usually available, hence the 9+ rating from all guests.

PolandWhat an absolute gem in Moalboal. The vibe and location was just perfect. Staff were so warm, welcoming and friendly. We felt like home!!! Werner helped us with booking a canyoning trip and was always happy to talk with us about anything and everything. Delicious breakfast, best one in this part of the island. It was close to everywhere yet comfortably far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The roosters were simply cute and we didn’t mind one bit. We will definitely come back ❤️ thank you to Werner, Hanna and everyone for making our stay so special.
